Clinically Proven Pressure Elimination Therapy

The NoDec Airstream 3 is a next generation 3-cell cycle Airwave Therapy* System which provides an evolution in features, performance and clinical efficacy.

Designed to replicate the body’s natural spontaneous movement the Airstream 3 is clinically demonstrated to provide complete pressure elimination at regular intervals, thus ensuring that it is perfect for the prevention and accelerated healing of all grades of pressure injuries irrespective of mobility.

Proven healing rates

Clinical studies have shown the successful outcomes achieved using 3-cell technology with proven wound healing and fewer new pressure injuries when compared with alternative dynamic mattresses. A study by Wallenstein showed that “on average, the wound size of all pressure injury was reduced by 50% in 4 weeks” using 3-cell technology.

Advanced Total Pressure Elimination

Advanced features of the Airstream 3, such as a double layer of ultrasonically welded cells which synchronously inflate and deflate and active vacuum assisted cell deflation, combine to provide frequent periods of complete pressure elimination which stimulates reactive hyperaemia and promotes blood flow thereby maximising pressure relief to the high risk areas such as the sacrum, trochanter and heels.

7.5 minute cycle

The 7.5 minute cycle time of the Airstream 3 facilitates pressure relief for up to 8 times an hour. This optimum frequency is firmly based on research, which indicates that if spontaneous movement during sleep exceeds 8 times each hour, tissue damage is unlikely to occur.
